Instruction tip

Method

Step 1 of 5

Line a sieve with muslin cloth. Place sieve over a large bowl. Spoon yoghurt into prepared sieve. Cover and refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.

Step 2 of 5

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 140°C/120°C fan-forced. Using a pencil, mark a 22cm-wide circle on a piece of baking paper. Grease and line a baking tray with prepared baking paper, pencil-side down.

Step 3 of 5

Using an electric mixer, beat eggs in a large, dry, clean bowl until soft peaks form. Add vanilla and then gradually add 1 cup sugar, 1 tbs at a time, beating well between each addition until mixture is thick and glossy and sugar is dissolved. Add cornflour and vinegar and beat to combine. Gently fold in 2 tbs almonds, then spoon mixture onto circle of prepared tray. Swirl meringue surface. Sprinkle with remaining almonds. Bake for 55 minutes or until meringue is firm to touch and dry. Turn off oven. Leave meringue in oven with door slightly ajar until cooled completely.

Step 4 of 5

Place remaining sugar and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until sugar dissolves. Increase heat. Add cherries and bring to the boil. Boil for 2-3 minutes or until mixture is deep red in colour.

Step 5 of 5

Break meringue into shards. Spoon yoghurt onto plates. Top with meringue, granola, peach, cherries and syrup. Sprinkle with mint. Serve.
